We are about to break the surly ponds of gravity and punch the face of God.

Left Jab Productions present Edge of Sports Radio, where sports and politics collage.

And now your host, Dave Zarin, the schmada kid.

Boom! Edge of Sports Radio, where sports and politics collide.

I'm Dave Zirin, joined as always by a man who in one day went from thrilled that the flake gate went down the tubes to shocked and appalled to see the expose about the degree to which the New England Patriots cheated their way to multiple rings. I don't know how he's feeling right now. I'm anxious to find out as you, Dan Baker. DB, what will they tell the children of New England? The only ring that matters is the next one, Dave. The only ring that matters is the next one. Oh, for God's sakes. And joined as always by Mean Mark, how you doing,

Meenmark? I have nothing to say to that. It's absolutely fascinating turn of events. The fact that

one day after Tom Brady, and let's keep this in mind, was not exonerated. I mean, Dan Lebitard put this very well.

He said it's not that Tom Brady was found innocent.

It's that Roger Goodell's tactics of enforcing the CBA were found guilty.

But one day after that, ESPN unloads, absolutely unloads with the Patriots history of malfeasance?

It seems like they had it just locked and loaded for it.

Like the Patriot Act, like just waiting there on the shelf for the right moment.

I got what you had there, the Patriot Act.

I mean, that was good.

Thank you.

But the thing about it that particularly is so interesting and why I actually appreciated the ESPN report so much,

is that one of the more

frustrating parts of arguing with Patriots people is when they always say, what?

People always say we have this pattern of cheating. SpyGate. It's one thing. One thing.

Name two things. It's just spy grade. One thing. It's sort of like saying the Cold War. What? US is militaristic. The Cold War. It's just Spigrate. One thing. It's sort of like saying the Cold War.

What?

US is militaristic. The Cold War. It's one thing. One thing. Not one thing. Many, many years of many, many little things. But we got a hell of a show this week. This is our NFL preview show. It's the show I'm most excited about. But you know what we're going to talk about before we get through the 10 things I think I think when I drink about the NFL? Apologies to Peter King.
